The word poverty is a word that is unheard of in the domain of the rich and fabulous. To some of us, coming across news like this make us wonder if we are really part of this ecosystem.
A Nigerian man by name Obi Okeke has excited the internet after he gifted a Bugatti Veyron worth $2.5 million to American actor/politician Arnold Schwarzenegger. This man according to report, is the same person who sold a car to famous boxer Floyd Mayweather.
This kind gesture has surprised many people in his native land for reasons best known to them. Obi, also called Doctor Bugatti first came to the United States as a 5-year-old refugee during the Nigerian Civil War in 1967.
His mother, who hailed from Ohio, was able to leave the country with him, but his father, who was born in Nigeria, stayed to fight.
After that first move to the US, Okeke returned with his family to Nigeria, where he stayed until he left to attend a private high school in Switzerland.
Four decades later, Okeke, 53, is a fixture in the luxury automobile industry, dealing in cars that cost millions and selling to super rich clients all over the world.
